Cleansing water

Whether your skin is ultra-sensitive or you hate cleansing your face with water, the new and much raved about skin care product alternative is cleansing water.

No water required

If you're looking for a new and effective skin care product to remove makeup and cleanse your face without harsh soap chemicals or oils, then cleansing water is ready to be a staple in your skin care regimen.

Most cleansing waters are soap-free, oil-free, alcohol-free and don't foam. One of the most beneficial things about cleansing water is you don't even have to use water -- just put cleansing water on with cotton pads and watch as your makeup disappears off your face and onto the pads.

Though cleansing water has been on the hot skin care product list in Paris for a while now, it's just getting big here in the states. NARS now has their version of cleansing water available, Makeup Removing Water, $28, which is free of all said things above, plus is non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested and ophthalmologist-tested.

A French favorite cleansing water is Bioderma Crealine H2o ultra-mild, non-rinse face and eyes cleanser, $27, which is non-detergent, non-foaming and soap-free. There are many other cleansing waters on the American market by Shiseido, Lancome and a few others that are perfect for sensitive skin and acne-prone skin.

Washing your face just got a little easier with these skin care products.
